Requirements  
for PC  
communication  
A PC communicates with a FastRAD either through a modem or  
through an RS-232 cable. A modem is used when the PC is  
situated at a remote location. An RS-232 cable is used when the  
PC is situated near the FastRAD at the customer site.  
When you use a PC at the customer site, you must use a 9-pin  
cable to connect the PC to the RS-232 port on the FastRAD.  
This connector is not supplied with the FastRAD. Table 1 shows  
which pins are used to make a connection with the FastRAD.  
Note: The FastRAD modem supports V.32/V.32bis protocols  
only. We recommend a baud rate* of 9600 or greater be  
selected when connecting Norstar PC applications to the  
FastRAD remotely using a modem.  
*Refers to the PC-Modem DTE speed.

Data  
Data programming allows you to determine how many seconds  
the FastRAD waits before answering a call on an incoming KSU  
line. This allows a line to be used normally during business  
hours and provides Auto-answer capabilities after hours. Auto-  
answer must be set to ON to allow unassisted access to the  
FastRAD.  
Before you begin programming, make sure the display shows  
RAD Admin.  
If you do not have this display on the Norstar telephone, follow  
the steps in Starting a Programming Session.

Note: In general, the following points should be consid-  
ered while choosing the FastRAD Auto-answer line:  
If possible, use an on-core line for auto-answering.  
This allows remote access to the KSU even in the  
event of an expansion module failure.  
Use a line that is not often used for other purposes,  
since the FastRAD will auto-answer after a pre-  
programmed delay.  
Choose only lines that are enabled.  
6. Press OK.

8. Enter the number of seconds you want the FastRAD to wait  
prior to answering an incoming data call. This number  
must be between 6 and 60.  
Note: The modem wait for carrier delay” (S Register 7)  
must be longer than the time it takes for the modem to dial  
the FastRAD Auto-answer line plus the Answer delay  
time. For example, if it takes 10 seconds for the modem to  
dial in to the FastRAD and Answer delay is set to 50  
seconds, then the modem wait for carrier delay” must  
be greater than 60 seconds.

Testing the  
FastRAD  
After the FastRAD installation and on site programming are  
completed you should test the FastRAD data transfer capabil-  
ities. To test the FastRAD, make a connection between the PC  
running ICSRT and the KSU at the customer site.  
If the PC is not located at the customer site and the FastRAD is  
not programmed with Auto-answer ON, you must phone the  
ICSRT operator and instruct the operator to establish a  
connection with the FastRAD. In this case, refer to  
Rerouting a call to the FastRAD.  
If you are using a PC at the work site, refer to ICS Remote Tools  
User Guide for instructions about connecting to the RAD.  
The test is passed when the remote or local PC establishes a  
connection with the KSU.  
If the FastRAD is programmed to report alarms, you can test  
alarm calls by disconnecting the FastRAD power supply. After  
a few seconds, reconnect the power supply. The FastRAD  
reports an alarm to the specified alarm connection centers.  
ReroutingaCall If the FastRAD is not set up to Auto-answer a Central Office  
(CO) line, ask the ICSRT user to set up an operator assisted-call  
to the FastRAD  
to your site. If the operator-assisted call is not accepted by the  
FastRAD, ensure the FastRAD is not involved in a programming  
session. Then ask the ICSRT user to attempt another operator-  
assisted call.

Troubleshooting Troubleshooting the FastRAD installation is needed if you start  
a programming session and the display shows  
Inactive feature.  
1. Check the wiring at the distribution block.  
2. Make sure the Norstar port that the FastRAD is attached to  
is working.  
3. Check that the power LED on the FastRAD unit is lit to  
confirm the power connection.  
4. Refer to the appropriate Norstar Installer Guide for further  
diagnostic tests.  
Note: If the wiring at the distribution block has been discon-  
nected, the FastRAD can take up to two minutes to reset after  
the wiring is reconnected.  
After you have checked all the wiring:
